Backround

Global Wind Organisation (GWO) is an association of owners and manufacturers of wind turbines in order to support an injury-free work environment within the wind industry. GWO has developed a standard for basic safety training (Basic Safety Training) to provide staff, who work in wind turbines, sufficient knowledge to achieve this goal.
The standard was issued in February 2012 by the 13 founding companies Acciona, AES, DONG Energy, E.ON, Fred Olsen, Gamesa, GE, Repower, Siemens Wind Power, Statoil, Suzlon, Vattenfall and Vestas. Rope Access Sweden Safety Training AB became in November 2012 the first in Sweden to become GWO-certified.
The purpose of this standard is to develop a joint training of health and safety as an important and necessary way forward to reduce the risk to staff working outside in wind turbines.
This standard describes the requirements for basic safety training in the wind energy industry as recommended by GWO. Where national legislation places higher demands on the education, the training provider will incorporate these requirements in education.
The standard contains five modules, including Rope Access Safety Training is certified for the first four.
